A Glimpse Into the Future
Trying to anticipate the future is big business. More Americans than ever invest
their life savings in the stock market because faith in the nation's economic future
is so high. Confidence in the Internet as the economic medium of the future drives
a booming new information industry that reshapes the prevailing economic outlook.
A cautious euphoria is the economic order of the day.
Amid the euphoria we should ask, How does God want us to view the future? Does He
want us to approach tomorrow with an attitude of excitement and confidence?
He certainly does--but with a considerably different focus.
Almost 2,000 year ago Jesus Christ announced some good news about the future. His
message, the gospel (good news) of the Kingdom of God, instills hope and confidence.
God intends for mankind to succeed and for the destiny He plans for all of humanity
to become reality. But that is looking far into the future, far beyond today's economic
euphoria.
Regrettably, most people are woefully unconcerned about the outcome of their existence,
their ultimate future. Their primary concern is the possessions and standard of living
they hope to acquire in the next few years.
Something is terribly wrong with this view. It focuses only on temporary belongings
and achievements. This is a shortsighted way of looking at things.
